Vdv joins Romero on the shelf after the colossally idiotic decision by the manager and the medical staff to start both of them on Sunday when they were clearly not fit. If we are in a 'rebuild' as the manager and some of you like to say, there was no reason to start them since we are effectively not playing for anything (unless I misunderstand the meaning of 'rebuild'). Play the kids, baby! In his pre-match presser, Ange took a dim view of Romero's recent comments regarding the lack of ambition of the club's hierarchy. I think the Argentinian got it spot on.
Here's the team (or what's left of it...): Forster, Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison, Johnson, Son, Werner. Substitutes: Austin, Whiteman, Bergvall, Solanke, Kulusevski, Sarr, Lankshear, Dorrington, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Hardy.
Another shit goal conceded, our defense nowhere to be seen as Rangers slice through our non-existent midfield and their striker volleys home while our back 4 takes a nap.
Out of nowhere, Spurs equalize from a fantastic move. Porro plays in Kulu, who feeds Solanke down the flank, the striker's reverse ball is deposited behind Butland by Kulusevski.
More idiotic play from us. Bergvall with a poor giveaway just outside our box and then fouls their player.
Another letoff for us - Porro with a terrible backpass to Forster who gives the ball away but nothing comes of it.
We have now failed to beat Leicester, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Fulham, Bournemouth and now Rangers. And 3 of those clubs are ahead of us in the table.
